Federal’s Protect & Save Personal Defense Ammo Rebate

Leave a comment

Federal Ammunition has launched its summertime Protect & Save rebate, allowing consumers to save on select Federal Premium® Personal Defense handgun ammunition through August 31, 2026. Qualifying handgun products include HST, Hydra-Shok, Hydra-Shok Deep, Practice & Defend HST, HST Micro, and Hydra-Shok Low Recoil.

To take advantage of the rebate, customers must purchase at least two boxes of qualifying Federal Premium Personal Defense handgun ammunition between July 1 and August 31, 2026. Eligible purchases qualify for a rebate of 20 percent of the purchase price, excluding taxes, fees, shipping, and handling charges. The maximum rebate is $200 per person or household. Rebate submissions must be received by September 30, 2026.

Hydra-Shok has been trusted for self-defense since 1989. Hydra-Shok Deep builds on that time-tested platform with design improvements to meet modern performance measurements. The bullet features a more robust center post and a core design that penetrates to optimal depths through the barriers most commonly encountered in self-defense situations.

HST is the duty load of choice for law enforcement officers throughout the world. Its specially designed hollow point won’t plug while passing through a variety of barriers, and the bullet jacket and core hold together to provide nearly 100 percent weight retention through even the toughest materials.

Moultrie Unveils the EDGE 4 Series

Leave a comment

Built for the Rut. Built for the Back 40. Built for Durability, Connection, and the Hunters Who Put in the Work Before Opening Day.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Moultrie, the leading innovator of feeders, trail cameras, and game management tools, today introduced the EDGE 4 series. The first cellular trail camera line built to recognize your target buck and fire a max-resolution cropped image to your phone, before you ever set foot in the woods. The EDGE 4 is waterproof, has enhanced night clarity, and all-season power options built for every piece of ground you hunt, from pre-season scouting through the late-season grind.

“The new Moultrie EDGE 4 picks up the best cell signal and with the solar panel on there, this thing is going to run all year long,” said Steven Rinella, MeatEater Host and Founder. “You can put it up and you don’t need to go to that place and disturb that area in order to see what’s going on. It’s just going to send you images.”

MEET BUCK SHOT. THE CAMERA THAT KNOWS YOUR HIT LIST.

Most cameras only see movement. Buck Shot sees the difference. Moultrie AI monitors every frame. The moment a buck enters the scene, Buck Shot analyzes the image, recognizes a buck, and sends a max-resolution, zoomed-in image to your phone in real time. No more pinching phone screens or waiting on downloads to see antler detail. Buck Shot does it for you.

Built For Smarter Detection. Built For Tougher Conditions.

  • Built For Durability. IP67 Waterproof (NEW). Built to weather the harshest storms and even temporary flooding. Your scouting doesn’t stop when the weather turns bad.
  • Built For After Dark. Night Clarity (NEW). Enhanced IR LEDs deliver brighter, more evenly lit nighttime images.
  • Built For Easy Setup. Built-in memory means no SD card. Live Aim positions the camera perfectly the first time, and automatic connection finds the strongest cellular signal available.
  • Built For On Demand. Pull a fresh image or video anytime, from anywhere.
  • Built For the Map. GPS Location Pinning. Each camera pins its location on the map in the Moultrie app, so you always know which intel is coming from which stand.
  • Built For Set-and-Forget — Solar Attachment (NEW). All EDGE 4 cameras are compatible with Moultrie’s new external solar attachment, which converts any EDGE 4 into a solar camera with optimized recharge efficiency and no external power cables. Solar attachment sold separately.

BUILT TO RUN ALL SEASON. EVERY SEASON.

The EDGE 4 line is the most power-efficient camera Moultrie has built, and it gives you three ways to power your scouting, so there’s no reason to pull a camera before you’re ready.

  • EDGE 4. Standard AA batteries. Set it up, scout all season.
  • EDGE 4 with Power Mag+. Pair any EDGE 4 with the Power Mag+ rechargeable battery pack and never buy AAs again.
  • EDGE 4 SOLAR. The industry’s largest integrated solar panel, an included rechargeable lithium battery pack, and no external cables. Set it once. It runs forever.

LOCATE. PATTERN. HARVEST. WITH THE MOULTRIE APP.

Every EDGE 4 image, video, and notification flows into the Moultrie App, your hub for camera management, feeder control, and GPS mapping. HuntPlan turns that intel into a plan: Game Plan predicts buck movement using trail cam data and local weather. Ideal Wind shows which stands are huntable. Property Lines delivers boundary overlays for all 50 states. Less guessing. More harvest days.

EDGE 4 cameras also integrate directly with onX Hunt. New onX customers receive a free three-month Elite subscription with any purchase.

The EDGE 4 Series is available at retailers nationwide and www.Moultrie.com. MSRP: EDGE 4 $129.99, EDGE 4 two-pack $229.99, EDGE 4 SOLAR $169.99. Read more

Julius Caesar Announced as Latest Installment of SK Guns’ Conquerors Series

Leave a comment

SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce the third production in its popular Conquerors Series: Julius Caesar. As a limited-production release, only 200 Colt 1911 pistols chambered in .38 Super will be available to collectors and enthusiasts.

“Caesar was a Roman general, politician and writer whose conquests changed the history of the ancient world. He moved his armies quickly, built bridges, forts and siege works, and used discipline to defeat larger forces,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “His conquest made him legendary, but it also helped bring the Roman Republic to an end and reshaped Europe for centuries after.”

Details on the right side of the guns slide exhibit Caesar crossing the Rubicon in January 49 BC, an act of treason also known as the point of no return that sparked the Great Roman Civil War. This legendary river in northeastern Italy served as the legal northern boundary of the Roman province of Italy proper, separating it from Cisalpine Gaul. Read more

Nearly 100 parcels available; sale proceeds will be used to acquire land that better fits the department’s outdoor recreation, conservation goals

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is busy preparing 97 properties for sale via online auctions later this summer. River frontage, lake frontage and forested acreage surrounded by private ownership — these characteristics describe some of the parcels that will be available Aug. 4-28.

Kerry Heckman, DNR forest lands and special projects administrator, said though it might seem counter-intuitive for the DNR to make any land available for sale, it’s important to note that the public benefit of some properties is severely limited. Read more

Public ceremony/signing set for Friday, July 17

A narrow river cuts through lush, green land on the Black River Ranch property, framed by forest and blue sky with cloudsThe Pigeon River Country State Forest, east of Vanderbilt in Michigan’s northern Lower Peninsula, is known for many things: its wilderness, rugged character, and being home to the state’s elk herd, crystal-clear sinkhole lakes and world-class trout streams.

Now, thanks to a partnership involving federal and state grants and private funding, this forest known as the “Big Wild” is nearly 8,850 acres bigger. In early December, on behalf of the public, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources purchased the Black River Ranch property located in the eastern portion of the Pigeon River Country.

This breathtaking property includes over 14 miles of rivers and streams, including the Black River, the East Branch of the Black River and Stewart Creek. It also includes three entire lakes, including the 150-acre Silver Lake. Bugle Hill, the high point on the property, offers a stunning view of the Black River valley and miles of wilderness and forest to the west.
